The fast-food giant said in a statement Monday that the locations in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn, which has a large Muslim population, no longer offer a halal McChicken sandwich or Chicken McNuggets “to focus on our national core menu.”

Ahmed Ahmed, the Dearborn Heights man who represented plaintiffs in the class-action suit, claimed he bought a chicken sandwich in September 2011 at the restaurant but found it wasn’t prepared according to Islamic law.

Islam forbids consumption of pork, and God’s name must be invoked before an animal providing meat for consumption is slaughtered.

“It’s disappointing,” said a metro Detroit Muslim who didn’t want to give her name. She said she doesn’t often eat fast food these days, but she liked having the option. “You go from being able to eat all the chicken at McDonald’s … and now you can’t anymore. I’m back to the fish filet.”
